Stable Diffusion Prompt Break Keyword

What is Stable Diffusion?

Stable Diffusion is an AI system that generates images from text descriptions, or prompts. It uses a technique called diffusion models to gradually transform random noise into realistic images. Stable Diffusion is open-source and can be used to create stunning art, graphics, and more.

How Stable Diffusion Works

The Stable Diffusion model is trained on millions of text-image pairs to learn the relationships between words and visual concepts. When you give it a new text prompt, it predicts what that image might look like based on patterns from its training data.

The model does this by starting with random noise and slowly altering that noise until it matches the prompt, going through hundreds of iterations to reach the final image. This diffusion process allows it to produce very detailed and coherent results.

Prompt Format

Prompts are simply text descriptions of the image you want to generate. Some key prompt formatting tips:

Be as specific and detailed as possible
List visual styles, themes, moods, etc.
Use commas between prompt terms
Capitalize proper nouns

Here’s an example prompt:

An oil painting portrait of a girl with red hair wearing a blue dress, by Picasso

Special Keywords

Stable Diffusion has special prompt keywords that allow additional control:

BREAK – Separates prompt into chunks
AND – Combines multiple prompts
NOT – Excludes certain elements

For example:

A small white dog WITH fluffy fur AND cute face NOT angry

The BREAK keyword is especially useful for clarifying which descriptors apply to which elements.

Prompt Iteration

The key to mastering Stable Diffusion is to iterate – generate images, tweak prompts based on results, and repeat.

Pay attention to what works well and what doesn’t, and adjust prompts accordingly. Experiment with prompt structure, descriptors, styles etc. to guide the model.

Responsible Use

While AI art generation is an exciting new creative tool, it also raises challenging questions around copyright, consent, and bias.

Use Stable Diffusion responsibly:

Don’t copy or claim ownership of others’ work
Do credit AI components appropriately
Avoid harmful, dangerous, or unethical content

Prompt Examples

Here are some example prompts showcasing best practices:

Simple Prompt

A oil painting of a red flower in a white vase on a table by Claude Monet style, detailed brush strokes, soft lighting

Prompt with BREAK

A photo of a bedroom with white walls BREAK blue bed sheets BREAK a window showing a sunny day outside BREAK depth of field photography

Complex Prompt

A majestic white Arabian stallion with a long flowing mane, muscular body, standing proudly on a grassy cliff overlooking a medieval fantasy landscape, digital art, intricate, highly detailed, dynamic composition, by Greg Rutkowski and Alphonse Mucha

There are endless possibilities for crafting prompts with Stable Diffusion! Start simple and work your way up to more complex, multi-part prompts with styles, artists, compositions etc.

The key is to be descriptive, specific, and to iterate on what works through trial and error. Mastering prompts takes practice, but the rewards are amazing AI-generated art!
